We all know there’s a big luck component to breaking off the /new page. I want to see the original content that you’re proud of but flopped on HN.

The second chance pool is great, I just wanted to give people a chance to shamelessly self-nominate their own posts.
Especially at a time when I’m interested in reading some good technical original content and /new is mostly general news.

Sounds good. I just wanted to point that out, as I'm not sure how many people even know about that.

The web tool will switch the position of latitude and longitude in text. It's a common issue in GIS industry as there's no agreement which order is the correct one (and tools/software want one or the other). The initial Show HN dicussion derailed into which order is the correct one, second-guessing why the tool could be any useful to anybody and it went downhill (well, flagged) from there.

#6https://github.com/jameslawlor/reddit-playlists
I made a bot last summer to generate and update weekly Spotify playlists from 100 or so music subreddits based on the top submissions of that week. Update operates entirely through a GitHub action so no resource spending.
I don’t often finish my side projects so was pretty happy to have something finally usable and shareable, it’s been fun showing friends!

#8I made https://welovefreemovies.com
It's a showcase of movies that people made and released for free on YouTube (my original submission has better details). I'm pretty sure it got hit by the auto spam filter due to the name.

#9I made (admittedly, the 200th) uptime monitoring service - https://onlineornot.com
I've been running the business for almost two years now (and it's now more of a status page that also monitors uptime), and it's still steadily growing!

Oh, this is great, I look forward to exploring some new genres with these playlists.
